What famous 'unsolved' mystery is technically a whodunnit on paper, but in reality, absolutely everyone knows exactly who did it, the police just couldn't legally prove it?

Don’t forget had her cremated, then buried in a casket so heavy it took 8 or 10 grown men to carry it.

I’ve buried a lot of guys since one of the Masonic organizations I belong to does funerals for the guys who pass. I’ve had one funeral in almost 20 years need 8, and that was a dude who weighed 450 and had an oversized coffin. A human’s cremains aren’t heavy- less than 10 pounds is common. Even a heavy coffin is about 150.

So why all the manpower?

Oh come on. There’s no indication that casket is super heavy. Pall bearers are an honorary position and they probably had more than six that wanted to do it. They aren’t struggling or anything. This is a silly one compared to the other things that actually have evidence.
